Possible lead poisoning?!


Question: Possible lead poisoning?
So I made a tabbaco pipe from homemade materials, its all in working order and such, But, There is One thing I'm worried about, The part running from the thing that holds the tabbaco and your mouth, Was made from a barrel of a old pellet gun, That shot lead pellets with Co2 . The problem I have with this is that I'm afraid that the smoke will carry the lead somehow and I'll end up with lead poisoning. Could this happen? And If so Is there any way I could clean it so I could continue using it for my pipe

It can indeed cause lead poisoning. Throw it away. Even people who make their own lead sinkers for fishing are advised to wash their hands after use. Sucking it into your lungs is a big no no.
